The best way to experience the size of the Solar System is to go on a "Solar System Walk". There are many around the World. Do a Google search for "Solar System Walk".
In the UK the best one is in Otford, Kent, which is the Worlds largest scale model of the Solar System, where the planets are scaled to their exact position at the turn of the century [See related link]
Another one is in Somerset, called "Space Walk" [See related link]. It doesn't show the planets in any particular position but does give their distances as you walk along the canal - and Pluto is a long long way!!
Or you could always created your own using common household objects. [See related link for all the details]

You can see the whole solar system and its moons on NASA's Solar System Exploration website (solarsystem.nasa.gov). It provides detailed information on each planet, its moons, and various missions exploring our solar system.
What were the principle contributions of Copernicus to the developing model of the solar system?
Copernicus was the first to show, in a systematic and mathematical way, that a helio-centric solar system made astronomical observations easier to understand. Ptolemy's system worked (well, sort of) in explaining what we see, but it was incredibly complicated.
Why are planets in your solar system system hard to see?
they are very far away
